Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | BASIS OF PRESENTATION Basis of Presentation The unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Rayonier Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Rayonier” or the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). In the opinion of management, these financial statements and notes reflect all adjustments (all of which are normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented. These statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and supplementary data included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the SEC (the “2014 Form 10-K”). Reclassifications Certain 2014 amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation, including changes in balance sheet presentation. During the first quarter of 2015, the Company reclassified seeds and seedlings from Inventory and Other Assets to Timber and Timberlands, Net to better reflect the intended use of the assets. Rayonier also reclassified long-term higher and better use (“HBU”) timberlands and real estate development costs from Other Assets to a separate balance sheet caption. These adjustments are reflected in the March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 Consolidated Balance Sheets. Corresponding changes have also been made to the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for both periods presented. Certain 2014 amounts have also been adjusted for reclassifications of discontinued operations. Rayonier completed the spin-off of its Performance Fibers business on June 27, 2014. Accordingly, the operating results of this business segment are reported as discontinued operations in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income for the prior-year period. Certain administrative and general costs historically allocated to the Performance Fibers business that remained with Rayonier are reported in continuing operations. The Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for March 31, 2014 has not been restated to exclude Performance Fibers cash flows. See Note 2 — Discontinued Operations for additional information regarding the spin-off of the Performance Fibers business. New Accounting Standards In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) jointly issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized and will require enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. In April 2015, the FASB voted for a one-year deferral of the effective date of the new standard, with an option for organizations to adopt early based on the original effective date. If approved, this standard will be effective for Rayonier beginning January 1, 2018 and can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on the consolidated financial statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation, which changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. This standard will be effective for Rayonier’s first quarter 2016 Form 10-Q filing and is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest — Imputation of Interest. This amendment requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the Balance Sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability. This standard will be effective for Rayonier’s first quarter 2016 Form 10-Q filing and is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Subsequent Events The Company evaluated events and transactions that occurred after the Balance Sheet date but before the financial statements were issued, and no subsequent events were identified.
